Samson Dauda Issues Statement After Shocking Drop to 4th at 2025 Mr. Olympia
Former champion Samson Dauda issued his first statement since dropping to fourth place at the 2025 Mr. Olympia.
The 2025 Mr. Olympia Weekend was full of shock-and-awe moments, especially in the star-studded Men’s Open division.
“Sometimes doing everything right still doesn’t give you the result you hoped for,”
Dauda shared a day after the event, on October 12.
Muscle-bound athletes spanning all 11 IFBB Pro League divisions squared off to be named the number one bodybuilder in their class.
- Derek Lunsford
- Hadi Choopan
- Andrew Jacked
- Martin Fitzwater
In the end, it was Lunsford who reclaimed his Mr. Olympia title, joining Jay Cutler as only the second Open talent in history to pull that off.
Dauda is known for taking gambles, like competing at the 2025 Arnold Classic as the Mr. Olympia champion.
